The Arkansas Geological Survey (AGS) is the curator for the Norman F. Williams Well Sample Library and maintains well cuttings and core samples as a permanent record of rock strata that have been penetrated by wells drilled in Arkansas. Driller logs housed at the Survey contain the down hole information about the geology in the state. Each log gives the depth in feet along with the discription of material being drilled and the depth it accurs. The logs cover wells drilled in the early 1900’s to 1950’s and dispersed throughout the state giving statewide subsurface information.
The borehole database for the State of Arkansas was developed as part of the U.S. Geological Survey Data Preservation Program 2023. Information displayed in the database will be useful for making more informed decisions about economic mineral availability in known mineral-rich areas. Each borehole is given a unique identifier and added into an Excel spreadsheet. A unique identifier example: 03-141-MFDS1-63, 03 pertains to the State Code, 141 to the County Code, M is for mineral, FD is the area or deposit name, S1 is the hole designation, and 63 is the drill date or source publication date. The County Code is an alphabetical listing of the 75 counties starting at 001 and ending at 149. Types of bore holes are M –...

The multi-page mineral survey reports contain historical, hand-written information on mineral commodities, surrounding geology, lithologic maps, stratigraphic columns, cross sections, and cultural features listed for a single county, township, and range, with more detailed information for each section. These historical documents show the in-depth analyses of the state’s natural resources during the time of heightened interest in mineral exploration throughout the country. These documents provide valuable information for routine mineralogical and lithological inquiries.

Former agency geologists analyzed core and cuttings to produce 971 hand drawn logs that cover wells that were drilled from 1920's to 1970 and include coverage of the entire state. Strip logs are produced from data collected from drilling and then transfered to strips of paper. The logs contain a graphic column that describes the rock types encountered during drilling with the use of colors and patterns. These colors and patterns are made with pencil, pen, and colored pencils. To the side of the column contains the lithologic description of rock units.
Summary The documents in this collection, Open File Reports (OFR), represent information the Arkansas Geological Survey (AGS) has amassed from many past and present staff and other geoscientists friendly to the AGS. Friends who contributed include past and present federal, state, and local government personnel, academia, and private industry. The OFR collection consists of unpublished paper files which includes reports, correspondence, mineral and rock data, geochemical analyses and testing, county data, regional data, maps, charts, cross sections, stratigraphic data, paleontological data, and fossil fuels data. An Excel database was created to help searches by capturing the individual file title, abstract, data...

The Arkansas Geological Survey (AGS) has developed a project plan that includes the scanning of rare books of various ages, some dating back to 1858. The rare book collection includes annual reports for the Arkansas Geological Survey, dating back to its inception in 1857. These one of a kind historical representations provide valuable information about the agency and its history that can not be found anywhere else. These documents are a matter of public record, currently available on a very limited basis due to their fragile nature.

Arkansas Geological Survey (AGS) preserved and digitized 1,497 photographs. The collections mostly cover information published from the 1920s to the late 1940s, with outliers originating from the late 1800s to the early 1990s and shows information that is pertinent to the Arkansas Geological Survey. The photograph collection shows geologic topics and sites from around the state.
